Conduit Bending Workshop

GRID Alternatives Bay Area is excited to be joining our neighbors for a Block Party with a Purpose at the Creating Commons Festival 2017. During the festival, we will be offering a one hour Conduit Bending workshop that you'll have hands-on practice learning to:

Cut and ream conduit

Measure and bend a 90 degree angle

Measure and bend offsets and kicks

Measure and bend conduit for saddle bend

The ability to bend conduit is highly sought after for technical solar positions, electrical positions and is a fun skill to use out in the field!
